The Ford Barn - View Single Post

I understand about the scammers, but scammers are a way of life. There were scammers before there was an internet, they just had different methods. I appreciate the Barn trying to protect me from myself, but even though I don't post often, I have sent over 50 PMs since I joined the Barn in 2010. I really don't think that just looking at the single parameter of number of posts is not a very efficient way of determining the validity of a participant. Not to mention the annoyance of attempting to do something I have done 50 times before and receiving a form letter type message saying I cannot send PNs unless I post messages. This is the end of my rant. I have registered my objection and I will go back to my quiet introverted self (though I expect I have learned to post an occasional message of encouragement to the poster when I see something I appreciate).
